Ugh, you think you can get away from Trolls who can't read, or at least piece together what someone says.

Not once did I say I wanted to pirate software. I said that I don't know how to put a non-market app on a device since AT&T will not allow it. So why would I spend my money on something that I can't put on there?

Do you buy 18 inch tires for your 16 inch rims, just because bridgestone makes a good tire? No. Sheesh, just leave me alone SkYz.

Show me where I said I was going to steal it? Go read my first post and explain to me which part meant I was going to try and pirate software. Once you've decided on which part, read the whole post again and figure it out a second time.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SlimJ87D:
Why would you need to do that? You have "paper work" to back you up. You think Paypal is going to refund you for downloading a program that you should have researched if it was compatible with your phone or not? That is what he is trying to do. Next time just give him his answer.

You could have been like "Yes, I have it installed right now."
[Captivate Themes and Apps] anosis:
Why not just install the free version and see if you like it and if so upgrade to the paid version.

Also under settings - applications - unknown sources is where you can install apps from the market that would usually not install. --- Did ATT cripple that in the Captivate??
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
I have the free version but not the paid one
[Captivate Themes and Apps] USHERROB:
yup they did, but there's a way to permanently allow non-market apps via editing the .db file and turning the option on
[Captivate Themes and Apps] USHERROB:
if the free one works, then so will the paid one.

droid explorer gives you access to side load the app once you have downloaded & copied the .apk file to your sdcard.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] USHERROB:
sorry for all of the posts lol.. also, ADW Launcher works perfect as well, thats the one that i use & is in the market for free
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
The free one I got off the market. There was just an update for it, but I think i'd rather have the cool contacts widget and support him.

So, I just download the file he sends me, transfer it onto my SD card, and then use droid explorer to run it? I assume this means I'll have to boot my mac into windows 7, huh?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] gr1fter:
if you download the free updated one...and add the people contact widget to your homescreen you will be presented a window to purchase the upgrade, you shouldnt need to sideload. Just download the free one and upgrade
[Captivate Themes and Apps] TheOccult:
I was going to buy the Launcher Pro after trying out the freebie version, but Samsung's KIES v 1.5.1.10071 wont connect to the device with Launcher Pro active. You can switch back to the orig UI and it will sync, but I'd hate to have to reboot the device everytime I want to sync.

I'm gonna get on the author's site and ask if they'll address that.

Otherwise, it was very quick and responsive. I think the People Widget is the what I really want so I'm gonna pay for it.

Ah, already reported: http://www.launcherpro.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1123&p=5060&hilit=KIES#p5060
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lqaddict:
I bought via paypal jusst to support the guy in his quest to make a better launcher!

Hint: use Skyfire browser (free available from market) to download the app from the link you will be redirected to once you paypal him.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DanteDrac:
Hey guys I have had LauncherPro installed for a bit and the contact button does not work! I even tried to do a long press on the contact button in the dock to change it and there is no option for "contacts", only "contact" which looks to be a broken link that does not have a proper icon?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] systoxity:
You don't need to put the file on your sd card to side load with droid explorer.

If you ur contact short cut is broken then hold it down till a menu pops up and select applications. Scroll down and select contacts. Give that a whirl and see if that fixes it
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DanteDrac:
That is the crazy thing I tried that and it still does not work. When I long press the contact dock icon I then select "contact" to link it but it just opens the damn thing and will not actually make it link.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Bjd223:
Dont select contact. Select applications then contacts then the icon.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] DanteDrac:
Heh sweet that did it for me, thanks for the help.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
There is a "unlock function" now so I went ahead and purchased this app. I read that it will unlock all the other widgets that he is messing with later on, but at a discounted price!

I like the contacts option. Now I need to find pictures to match the people!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] hazard96:
i downloaded the launcherpro free version, and none of the samsung widgets show up
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
They wont because only samsung widgets are available for the touch wiz. I downloaded Retro Clock for my clock needs.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ladiesgod:
I purchased Launcher Pro but I can't figure out where to enter in my code?

I don't see launcher pro under applications. How do I find it to unlock it?

Thanks!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mcx6:
all you have to do is have LauncherPro Open and running, click menu, then choose Preferences, drag down a little and click Unlock LauncherPro Plus, enter code.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] madjsp:
There was just a new update that has a bookmark widget, along with the contacts widget.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Vascariz:
That really sucks...

I cannot access my contacts...

I cannot access Program Control from Samsung Widgets which was helpful in managing programs.
[Vibrant General] coolguy949:
My phone is off a lot of the time but it still uses up a lot of my power according to the battery use screen.

For example, right now my battery is at 45%, 9h 15m since unplugged. "Display" shows up at 48% of the power use. Time on is 58m. On my old Evo, Display was rarely on the top of the list. A day like today would have Cell Standby and Phone Idle at the top taking up over 50 - 60%.

Could it be the auto brightness setting that's sucking power? Anyone else getting these results?
[Vibrant General] AVonGauss:
I haven't had the time to try and figure out why, but yes, I am getting the same results on mine as well. Right now the battery is at 44% (9h 42m on), with the Display at 55% (1h 33m display on). Display has always been at the top of the list for me. The next three are Android OS 13% (1h), Cell Standby 13% (9h 42m), Phone Idle 8% (8h 14m)
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Mine has been unplugged for about 1.5 hrs, and on for 35 minutes.

Voice Calls: 45%

Display: 33%

Cell Standby: 8%
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
I'm experiencing something similar. Gravis, are you on auto brightness? If not, what brightness level?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
I use a power widget to scale my screen brightness as needed. I'm usually on the lowest setting since I'm mostly indoors but I had it on 100% all day yesterday since I was outside and it wasn't really draining my battery.
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
I too keep mine on the lowest setting as well. It's plenty bright enough for me. Also, I wouldn't trust those readings...it could also be related to the whole false reading of the reception and battery status symbol. Perhaps software related. Nevertheless, the screen still uses 20% less power than traditional lcd's.

Try keeping it off auto brightness and see how it does...should notice an improvement.
[Vibrant General] gTen:
You mean 20% less then an average AMOLED? and then AMOLED is 30-40% over LCD
[Vibrant General] hah2110:
Guys... You WANT your screen to be the highest thing using battery. It doesn't mean that it is bad. It just means that the screen is taking MORE battery than other things. You need to take it for what it is. A comparison versus other items on the phone. Your screen using that much power is how it should be (think about your laptop... turn the screen down or off, battery goes right up). If your screen was at the bottom, it would mean that the actual PHONE was using a ton more power.
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Good point. I'd rather have the screen eating power than say, the GPS. But I guess as long as the phone gets you through the it doesn't really matter, does it?
[Vibrant General] AVonGauss:
Does turning off the "Powering saving mode" option under "Sound and display" seem to help or hurt the situation?
[Vibrant General] gravis86:
Mine is off. I don't like the screen changing intensity/brightness without my permission :)
[Vibrant General] nick_karstedt:
I shudder to think that a "power saving" mode would actually increase battery usage...
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Indeed. :D
[Vibrant General] AndroidZ28:
Most of the GSM models have display at the top, while CDMA have standby and idle.

This is due to CDMA radios drawing a lot more power.
[Vibrant General] kstar54:
I too am experiencing the same thing... my battery life has been less than stellar, so I have taken it off auto-brightness and am using a black wallpaper to try and reduce the consumption. After being on for 4 hours, (I had to reboot several times this afternoon) my display has used 70%, the next down is cell stanby at 12% I was fully charged at 3:30 today - it is now 10 and I am down to 33% battery remaining, with moderate to minimal usage.

I guess a gorgeous display requires a lot of battery.....
[Vibrant General] joe.kerwin:
Battery use has to add up to 100%, so something has to take a majority. 66% doesn't mean it took a huge part of your battery. Imagine this, you unplug your phone and then go on pandora for 15 minutes of the first 20 minutes unplugged. Say your battery was at 96ish by then. If you checked your battery usage and it said something like PANDORA: 75%, it means that pandora used 75% of the 4% that has been drained, not like pandora has some type of abnormal battery sucking bug in it (key word abnormal, i'm aware pandora wears on a battery). But get the gist? If it were "cell standby" and "phone idle" that were using the battery, then we'd have something to worry about seeing as the phone wouldn't even be in use during its times of most power consumption.
[Vibrant General] Pneumatic:
You people apparently never actually TALK on your phone. My voice calls take most of my power.
[Vibrant General] renegadedj:
for me, i've noticed that installing and moving files on the internal and sdcard memery eats up the battery the fastest.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
I can't quote this enough for emphasis.

Use your brains folks. If your battery is lasting all day and your screen is using half of your power draw, then you simply have a far more efficient phone than before.

And over the EVO, that makes a TON of sense. Your WiMax OFDM radio probably used up a higher percentage of your total power draw because it simply uses more power than our WCDMA UMTS radio.

Be happy - not disappointed. It means your battery is mostly being used up only when you actually use the phone as opposed to eating up all of your battery while it's just sitting in your pocket.
[Vibrant General] AVonGauss:
Rather than wasting time with not so clever posts, maybe it would be more beneficial to read the first post a bit closer. If you're not using the device a lot, you would expect the Display usage indicator to decrease over time and the other indicators such as Cell standby and Phone idle to increase over that same time period.
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Maybe our phones are so efficient, running processes/apps use less power than the display, but BOTH in general still use less power compared to other phones.
[Vibrant General] neema:
I would disagree, at least with the last part. If Cell standby and phone idle use very little power, it would take a long time to offset. Imagine the following:

Time since plugged: 1hr

screen 20m 70%

call 5m 20%

standby 35m 10%

Of the power used, which probably wouldn't be very much, idle has used very little. For it to use enough to account for another 1 percent of the usage would take 5+ min. If you turn your screen on to even check that stat you will change the result.

I honestly think people are over-reacting to a difference between phones. Yes AMOLED uses more power than an LCD, but those percentages are misleading.
[Vibrant General] srqt:
Wait, I can talk on this thing too!!

Seriously though, my display has been the top consumer of battery everyday since I got the phone (a whole 4 days) but battery life overall has been good so I do not think it is a concern.
[Vibrant General] speoples20:
Obviously the screen is going to be on the top of the list, its a freakin touch screen phone. You use the screen to do everything on the phone. If you talk a lot on the phone then yeah that might be a little higher since the screen is turned off when your on the call. But if you are like me and mainly text, facebook and surf the web then your screen will be on top.
[Vibrant General] violinbf:
Taken from Ars Technica:

"Power consumption:

While an (SAM)OLED will consume around 40% of the power of an LCD displaying an image which is primarily black, for the majority of images it will consume 60–80% of the power of an LCD - however it can use over

three times as much power

to display an image with a white background[55] such as a document or website. This can lead to disappointing real-world battery life in mobile devices."

Thus in real world usage, SAMOLED technology may not provide any real world power savings over LCD. In fact, it may actually be worse than LCD for the way we use it on a mobile phone.
[Vibrant General] violinbf:
I think that there is some confusion as to what S-AMOLED technology really is and how it differs from AMOLED.

The only difference between S-AMOLED and AMOLED is that S-AMOLED has an extremely thin (0.001mm) evaporated layer for touch sensitivity integrated in the display. AMOLED uses a separate touch layer which defracts and defuses light. This is why the S-AMOLED is 20% brighter than AMOLED and more viewable outdoors. The benifit of this is that you can run the S-AMOLED at reduced power and still achieve the same percieved brighness of AMOLED. However to achieve the increased visibility and brighness etc that Samsung is touting, power consumption is equal to that of AMOLED.

Unfortunately in this instance, we can't have our cake and eat it too. :(

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trotterjerry:
I have copied the folder I had MAMECE3 (mamece3 dot mameworld dot info) installed on - onto the sd card in my HD2. The program runs fine, but the problem is the buttons. I see that morphgear has an onscreen d-pad - is it possible to add one to this? This is the one thing I really miss from my old Axim x51v - a d-pad!

They have the source code available. This would open our devices up to yet another whole world of 1,000s of games. I would love to see moonpatrol, pacman, tapper and asteroids running yet again. And with freeware ;-) ;)

note: anyone else have a favorite game they used to run on MAME?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] EVOlutionIX:
You just named all my favs..... I'd love to see the MAME come to the HD2.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vonkarayan:
Try with LMT (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629263): among the other features it sports a good trasparent multi-touch onscreen controller, that can be used either on portrait and landscape mode.

It should overcome your problem (and be much more playable...).

By the way SEGA and Capcom games were the best! :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trotterjerry:
OK tried it - nothing.

More detail - I installed it as per the instructions (on the device). If i run it, it just takes me back to the home screen. No findger swipes do anything other than the regular sense ones. I checked the task manager I don't see it running. I wonder what it takes to call it up other than just clicking on the shortcut.

So, I ran MAME. after a short time the game chooser menu comes up. It is at this point that I can set the buttons for different things, but nothing as far as LMT is concerned. So I go back and run it thinking maybe it is not running in the background (esp. since it never shows up in the task manager). Ahhh (wait for it ......) still nothing.

Kind of disappointing. I can start a rom, enter coins, but that is it - without my beloved d-pad i miss soo much.

Any other ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trotterjerry:
Quick report back. Went over the thread again. Saw what I was doing wrong with LMT. It is a double swipe thing. I see the double swipe etc. on the Home screen. If you drawing a box with your finger the console comes up. I have had that up while trying to configure the buttons. I was even able to configure all of the buttons to taps on the LMT console (up = up, A for exit game, etc.) - no success.

When the game starts it is still lokking for the hardware keys and not the software ones - even though they are set in the button configure menu of MAMECE.

Please let us know if anyone else was able to get it working.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] vonkarayan:
I succesfully mapped buttons 1 and 2 on LMT Controller, but not the others. Directional keys work perfectly.

My problem is that with the LMT Controller in portrait mode the only visible section of the screen during game is under the controller, while on landscape mode all is visible but it's really unconfortable!

And unluckily MAMECE3 doesn't support screen in landscape mode!

I've to figure out something else... :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trotterjerry:
OK If you are interested in this. The LMT controller works great (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=629263&page=67) go there get it - DONATE!. note: this is the latest page - it is on page 1. Use it in landscape mode. You just have to have it off when going to button settings - then do the square to open it - set the buttons. Hit the x to close it and save your settings.

Start the ROM you want - restart the controller.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] trotterjerry:
YES it does. :) Click on options > Rotate Right and it will work just fine. It took me a while to figure this one out. Also, if you delete all of your config files in the cfg directory it will use your default settings for everything. One thing I did was, change the one player button to the back arrow (hard key) less problems that way.

Remeber that left arrow then right arrow is "OK" :cool:

anyone have a similar issue, although it might be coincidental...

When i use data heavily, i lose data connectivity for a little while even though the 3g symbol is still there. i know its not as network issue because my son's mytouch slide has no outage. i am in a great coverage area and normally get over 3meg downloads.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rorytmeadows:
Has it been compiled yet?

I know they released a community preview trial, but I'd love to get my hands on an installable package for my tablet.
[Windows Phone 7 General] Da_G:
CE7 is not like a desktop OS where there's a vast library of pre built drivers, ready to install on just about any machine. It requires the development of a BSP (Board Support Package) for the specific device it's being deployed on.

Example of a CE7 BSP

So, if your ODM has not already developed a BSP specifically for your device, that's who you need to start bugging for one :)

Incidentally, all CE-based platforms require a BSP like this. Every WM PDA/Phone/Device and every CE based POS system/etc. out there have one or several. You could consider it an "official ROM kitchen".

[EVO 4G General] AS329:
I've been doing a little research. From what I can tell, Clearwire has applied for permits, permission or zoning variances in four or five locations around Tucson: by the Tucson Mall, Pima/Alvernon, some place on the south side, and they received permission from Marana schools to build towers at a school in Continental Ranch (a mile from my house!) and near Ina and Thornydale, I think.

Also, there was a job posting for a Clearwire manager position back in December of 09.

Unless Clearwire is just building towers for the heck of it, or they sell some other service, I think it's on its way.
[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
Just out of curiosity, where does one go to find out about such permit applications? I'd like to do some snooping on their progress in Phoenix. :D
[EVO 4G General] AS329:
Well, of course, google is your friend. I would try "City of Phoenix" and clearwire, for instance (if I cared about Phoenix :) )...check the city (for all those suburbs) and county websites and look for the development services or similar department. Many have their permit applications and such online. County Board meeting minutes, city council minutes are good sources as they usually grant zoning variances and permits. I found Clearwire seeking permission from the local school board by reading the minutes of the school board.

I've been an investigator for years, so this is second nature to me...let me know if you have other questions or my response is less than clear.
[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
Hey, you're right! I found this little gem regarding Clearwire in the minutes from a recent public meeting:

Good news: it was approved! :D

Bad news: it's not near my part of town.

Thanks, inspector! I'll see what else I can dig up.
[EVO 4G General] AS329:

Thanks for the link to the article.

I always laugh about the "not in my backyard" outcries every time someone wants to put up a cell tower. I gotta believe that many of those folks are the same ones who are always complaining about poor cell coverage in their area. :p
